Lyrics

Oh my lord, I never did what you asked me to do And now I’m a rogue, according to some, some like you But I don’t even know who you are I don’t think we’ve spent much time together and it seems to me my dear commissar that I can’t see the words on your page I can’t see your …

Everybody loves a happy ending But no-one likes to say a sweet goodbye Am I prematurely lamenting Talking to the shapes in the sky Goodbye I found a box of folded faded photographs A torn and tattered timeline of your life Under the bed an empty bled crystal caraffe A vessel void of spirit and strife And as the rays …

When you feel the low When you feel the tremors Don’t go When you feel the dark and the final embers Don’t go, Don’t stare at the potion Just know you can feel my devotion When the year is lost and the days are numbered Don’t go When you feel alone Lost in the danger zone Don’t go, Don’t swallow …

I like the feel of the air you have around you Seems like a real high oxygen content I seldom need it for myself it’s inessential It just invites more rust and accidents Destination Altair To kill the creation machine The information’s out there But I just don’t know what it means You ought to see my nice brand new …

You and your black cat Watching the rain Until the clock’s back 11.55 again You and your black cat side by side Putting all the world’s wrongs to right Black Cat – Do you hear the silence? Silence so deafening Black Cat – In silence Putting all the world’s wrongs to right again You and your black cat Listening to …

You say that I’m to blame for the fast demise of man I say that you’re insane and I love you and I’m doing all I can You say it’s not the way you pictured your superman I say he’s been delayed but I love you and I’m doing all I can Don’t break my star I’m doing the best …

She used to sing sweet love songs and leave the men all humbling But now she stumbles home where another wall is crumbling Dressed in black with a gun in her bag People are so blind She can’t see a thing for the shadows in her mind One more time The loneliest man Walks on by the loneliest woman who …

A Cumbria scene Elizabeth just walked into the sea Her last breath came courtesy of a filthy colliery Those were the days when love was built on composmentis minds And nobody would speak of those who weren’t so well designed So take off your rosy sunglasses now And just what the hell are you moaning about now? Here we are, …

The medication is subsiding so once again I recreate the sheer monstrous hell of being consumed by something else But the telephone just isn’t working and I wonder what’s behind the door Oh I feel a surge in the water and the birds are all silent now Yesterday the world was safe But now I fear for everything under the …

One way out Just a thing to think about Everybody exits through the same door One way out There’s no fear, there’s no doubt Everybody’s waiting to be called for Don’t be sad I have no pain Don’t be sad cos I’ll see you again Don’t you cry yes I will explain yes I will explain when I see you …

Well by the smirking on your face I can tell you’re looking for someone somebody silent to endure the fiction you’ll recite Well that somebody seems to be, regrettably, me And as the clocks slow down, it’s going to be a long long night How did you ricochet every bullet that was ever shot ? when you’re the man that …

All along this coastline Clusters of philanderers and concubines Parasols of shady wealth Cars and boats and bright, shiny, sponsored health Here, money buys the music in your ears Here, money buys the things that disappear All these things that travel the ocean Pretty polyethylene, tides of polyvinyl Oh these things, that travel the ocean Reefs of polypropylene, mesmerizing wonders …
